brush, or what is a nice way, by wire netting fastened 
to 2x4 stakes driven into the ground. When the vines 
are to be supported, the rows should be made double, 6 
inches apart. 
Pepper—tTransplant from nursery or hotbed into rows 
3 feet apart, 18 inches between the plants. 
One ounce will sow 3800 feet of drill or produce 1,500 
plants. 
Hot varieties should not be grown near mild kinds, 
to prevent the former imparting their more pungent 
nature to the latter. 
Pumpkin—Make hills 8 feet apart each way. Plant 
8 to 10 seeds to a hill, thinning out to two of the strong- 
est plants to a hill, when danger from bugs is over. 
One ounce will plant 15 hills; one pound, one acre. 
When grown with corn every fourth hill of every 
fourth row may be sown with pumpkin seed. The 
pumpkin plants will stand cultivation of the corn with- 
out injury, and after corn-culture stops, will cover the 
field. 
Radish—Sow 4-inch deep in drills 10 to 12 inches 
apart. Thin to 2 inches apart for the small varieties; 
3 to 4 inches for the large sorts. They mature more 
rapidly when standing well apart. . 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 8 pounds, one 
acre. 
Tc have radishes in perfeetion, they should be grown 
in a light, warm soil, and the richer and more friable 
itcan be made the better. Quality depends on quick- 
ness of growth; the roots delight in a temperature of 
45° to 65°. 
Rhubarb—Sow in drills 1 foot apart, thinning to 10 
inches apart. Transplant in autumn or following 
spring into rows 3 feet each way.
